Status This Week
No newer publicly posted bargaining update was located during the 2026.07.18–2026.07.24 reporting window after the July 14 contract mediation schedule post. The next visible mediation block remains July 29–31.
Process Signals
- Horizon remains appropriately grouped with the mediated CWA-AFA carriers.
- The July 14 schedule post lists anticipated mediated meetings with management and the NMB mediator in Chicago on July 29–31, August 25–26, October 5–6, November 12–13, and December 15–17.
- The longer-term calendar makes Horizon a high-visibility forward-schedule file even without a new late-July outcome recap.
- As of this check, the NMB weekly activity report index listed 2026.07.17 as the latest posted weekly report; no 2026.07.20–2026.07.24 report was visible in the index.
CrewSignal Assessment
Horizon remains a high-signal mediation file because upcoming NMB-mediated dates are publicly posted through year-end. For the week ending 2026.07.24, the correct framing is preparation for the July 29–31 session rather than a new legal stage change.
